This home was built for the Batson’s daughter, Kitty (Catherine) in 1855, who raised her children in the house and lived there until she died. Housed in the parlor is a baby tender from the 1700s. It was found in Sarah Hale’s home in Massachusetts.

Sarah wrote “Mary Had A Little Lamb” in 1830 and was a crusader in making Thanksgiving a national holiday.
